Had Fifteen BATTLES.

VIM. Hoberecht, Friday, had all
encounter with a prairie rattlesnake
near Fishers Lake, about mile east
of town, which resulted in the death
of the rattler, and a valuable dog.
The animal, which was in company
with Mr.. Hoberecht, scared up the
snake, and the latter stuck its fangs
in the dogs throat, the poison rapidly
doing its work. Mr.. H. grabbed a
fence-rail, and speedily dispatched the
serpent. He found it to be about
three feet long, nearly as thick as a
mans arm, and had fifteen rattIes.
Prairie rattlers do not grow to such
length as their kin of the hills, but
they are fully as, if not more, dam
gerous and aggressive, when dis
Uurbed.

THE INTERSTATE LAW.
And How 1t Affects the Players.

The provisions of the interstate
commerce law are having an effect
in quarters, not possibly expected
by the trainers of it. 1t is
particularly obnoxious. to the theatre
cal profession, which has been accus-
toned to travel over the country to
NIL engagements, at very low rates
and having other valuable concessions
made to its agents and other Decessa-
ry attaches.
The advance agent of company
carries from five hundred to two thou
sand pounds of printed matter, and
this paper" has been carried free on
the majority ofthe roads. The agent
himself, was accorded half rates. Now
the paper is compelled to pay for its
ride about as much as a passengers
fare, and the agents transportation is
at full rates, like any other les :
favored mans.
In brief conversation yesterday
with Jay Simms, the comedian and
manager of the "Burr Oaks" COM
pany, that gentleman said to BAzoO
reporter that the effect of the inter-
state commerce bill would be to cut
down the number of travelling COM
panies about One-half, if not more.
While this would be not entirely q pri.
vation to the play-going public, in that
the transformers would be relegated
to their original calling, whatever that
might be, yet it would cause many
reputable companies to disband.
Further, the best attractions would be
compelled to lessen expenses by lOp-
ping off appendages deemed necessary
under the old order of things, but
which the force of circumstances
and the new law would necessarily
demand their abandonment.
The provisions Of the law would
come down as hard on good companies
as on those Of less drawing ability, and
among the effects mentioned by Mr..
Simms, would be that travelling
troupes would carry no scenery, very
little baggage, as few dresses as pos
sible, and fly as light through the
country as could be. His own company
Of ten persons, under the law, was
costing him from SO to 500 week
more than it did under the former
system.
Managers, throughout the country,
were outspOken in denouncing the
law, and he thought that instead of
its being a benefit to the railroads ii
was a detriment. The public, as
usual, will be the sufferer.

The Trades Association.

The matter of trades procession
association which was left incom-
plete last fall, is again being agitated.
There is nothing that is more import.
ant to Sedalia in connection with the
state fair exposition than is this one,
and it is to be hoped that Sedalia' :
board of trade and her live, energetic
business men will not let the matter
rest until it is fully carried out; 9TH
er cities which do not make any pre-
tensions to state exposition have
seen the Importance of the matter and
have prepared for such displays in
an elaborate and liberal manner.
Sedaiia's parade last September,
though gotten up hastily has been
pronounced by those who saw it far
superior to that of Kansas CITY, and
it viii require but little effort if the
matter is taken in hand at once to far
eclipse anything ever seen In Sedalia.
1t is the duty of Sedalis's people to
uphold and aid their state fair, not
only as a matter of local pride, but as
a financial undertaking, and one in
which they nsnst share the profits of.
Let them theH at once organize for
this falls display.

BADLY BEATEN.
A Crank and Swindler's Expert
ence in Resisting
Texas Marshal.

No little attention was created last
evening by a couple of passengers
who came in from the east and took
the train for the south. One Of the
parties was Marshal j. d. Arnold, of
Dallas, Texas, a young, trim built,
handsome athletic looking fellow.
While the other was a veritable
Hurcules of physical strength and
beauty, and when at himself a hand
some looking man named A. F.
Peake; at least that Is the name he
gave and the name under which
he Is wanted in Texas on a
charge Of forgery and enlightenment.
1t seems Peake is somewhat Of an adj
venturer who goes on his cheek, mus
Gle, and wits. He struck Dallas some
time since as stranger and played
his racket so fine as to gull several
parties and make his escape. He had
not, however, counted on the peculiar
pertinacity with which the average
Texan insists upon getting even and
was therefore not a little surprised,
last Wednesday, to find himself con-
fronted by Marshal Arnold, of
Dallas, in Chicago with a
warrant and requisition for his extra
dition back to the land Of flowers.
Peake surrendered under protest and
was taken to the train, but once on
the road alone with the little marshal
he concluded he did not have to 90
with 80 small u man, and intimated As
much by informing that gentleman it
would be agreeable to part company.
Marshal Arnold mildly demonstrated,
but received for reply blow This rails.
ed the Texas blood of the latter and a
scene eGsued that would have delight
ed a prize fighter. When the racket
was over, Peake looked as if he had
enjoyed a one-hundred round inter-
view with John l.. Sullivan, and lay
prone ON his back with handsome
nickel-plated hanycufiS and shackleS
adjoining his soiled broad-cloth, and
an inward respect for Texas marshals
that is ALWAYS enjoyed by tender foot
bullies when they get acquainted
with them.
1t is needless to say. he was a very
Obedient but somewhat surly pris-
oner for the remainder of the trip and
it was his ornanented features that
attracted so much attention BY him
here.
1t has been learned since the above
was written that the mans real name
is F. p. Thornton, a commercial trav-
eler, in the employ of a Chicago will
low-ware house, and he was being
taken back to Dallas to answer to an
Indictment charging him with the
theft of 800. A few years ago, under
the name of A. F. Peet, he ran a
at Dallas, and in 1882 he
sold piece of land to q. W. Wilder
man. 1t is alleged that he represent
ed the title tn be clear, when in re-
atty there was mortgage of S400 on
it. After making the sale he left the
State. Recently he was located in
Chicago and was arrested there Tues
day last, as above stated.

Confinement and inertness generate

that it is impossible to give every flock

evening Pfeifer had taken sufficient
time to hitch up the horse and start

first break the animal made was down
